One is at the height of his playing career, while the other is broke and embroiled in a post-career controversy. One is a Hall of Fame bound superstar, while the other is struggling to stay onÂ reality tv. One plays for the Yankees, while the other last played for the <a href="http://www.longbeacharmada.com/">Long Beach Armada</a>. However, with all of these differences itâ€™s tough to overlook the apparent similarities between two men at each end of the baseball consciousness:</p>
<p><strong><u>Background</u></strong><br />
A-Rod and Canseco both grew up and played high school baseball in the Miami are before being drafted out of high school. Rodriguez was a highly touted prospect, but both went on to join the 40-40 club of which only four men are members. While both are members of this exclusive fraternity, one cannot overlook the best remembered highlights of their respective careers. <strong><u></u></strong></p>
<p><strong><u>Signature Embarrassing Moments<br />
</u></strong>First, letâ€™s talk about Jose and the highlight that is banned from youtube by MLB. <a href="http://www.stupidvideos.com/video/just_plain_stupid/HomerunofHead/?hs444=searchforvideo&amp;hs377=searchforvideo#23360">You know the highlight</a> Iâ€™m talking about, so weâ€™ll just say he fucked up worse than <a href="http://tv.hollyscoop.com/tyra-banks/heidi-and-spencer-confirm-lc-sex-tape-to-tyra_751.aspx">Heidi when she pissed off LC.</a> As for A-rod, weâ€™ll just say that he resemble either of <a href="http://www.mtv.com/ontv/dyn/the_hills/series.jhtml">the Hills</a> duo with his <a href="http://cache.boston.com/bonzai-fba/Globe_Photo/2006/03/20/1142875763_4949-1.jpg" class="lightview" rel="gallery[201]" title="a-rod.jpg">limp-wristed slap in the ALCS</a>.<a href="http://blastmagazineblogs.com/posterboy/files/2008/04/a-rod.jpg" class="lightview" rel="gallery[201]" title="a-rod.jpg"><img vspace="5" align="right" width="473" src="http://blastmagazineblogs.com/posterboy/files/2008/04/a-rod.jpg" hspace="5" alt="a-rod.jpg" height="395" /></a></p>
<p><u><strong>Penchant for Playboy</strong></u><br />
Last Summer there was the <a href="http://strayrod.com/">Stray-Rod scandal</a> involving a girl who was only good enough to be on <a href="http://cyber.playboy.com/">Cyber Playboy</a>. Apparently he tried to step it up a notch and get a girl that was actually in the <a href="http://www.playboy.com/">mag</a>, too bad it was Jose&#8217;s wife. I bet part of you wishes that happened, I can see them now as some guests on Maury because they are definitely too high profile for Jerry.</p>
<p><u><strong>The Material Girl is En Vogue</strong></u><br />
Now, <a href="http://www.whosdatedwho.com/celebrities/people/dating/madonna.htm">the two have one more thing in common</a>, an <a href="http://news.google.com/news/url?sa=t&amp;ct=us/0-0&amp;fp=486ae40a2eba134d&amp;ei=PMVqSLm3JJu2yQTaopnWCg&amp;url=http%3A//www.newsday.com/entertainment/ny-etarod0701-blog%2C0%2C5681037.storylink&amp;cid=1224415441&amp;usg=AFQjCNGGGCv-xutDg8gosf2cqoMbMNUi5w">obvious relationship with Madonna</a> in which both are denying having sex. Madonna has proven over the years to be more of a nympho than <a href="http://www.metacafe.com/watch/800270/boogie_nights_sexy_heather_graham/">Heather Graham in Boogie Nights</a>.</p>
<p>Jose has already proven to be a little nuts with his appearance on <a href="http://www.vh1.com/shows/dyn/the_surreal_life_4/series.jhtml">Surreal Life</a>, but A-Rod starting to seem a little too Tom Cruise for myself as a fan and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L._Ron_Hubbard">L. Ron Hubbard</a> has no place in pinstripes. Here is the inevitable headline: <em>A-Rod and Madonna Form <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbGGt_HI304">Scientology</a>-<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kabbalah">Kabbalah</a> School In Africa</em>.</p>
